Introduction: With the increasing demand for health products derived from Polygonati rhizoma (PR), people begin to artificially plant Hua () in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. To promote cultivation and increase farmers' income, efforts are needed to understand the ways to obtain high-quality PR under artificial cultivation conditions.

Methods: Rhizomes of artificial planting and rhizosphere soils were collected across five regions in Zhejiang Province, China.

Rapid response of uni- and multicellular organisms to environmental changes and their own growth is achieved through a series of molecular mechanisms, often involving modification of macromolecules, including nucleic acids, proteins and lipids. The ADP-ribosylation process has ability to modify these different macromolecules in cells, and is closely related to the biological processes, such as DNA replication, transcription, signal transduction, cell division, stress, microbial aging and pathogenesis. In addition, tRNA plays an essential role in the regulation of gene expression, as effector molecules, no-load tRNA affects the overall gene expression level of cells under some nutritional stress.
